Just wondering, cuz it's hard to sort through all the threads to find modding stuff!
When will we be getting a mod forum?
- Thread starter Dspencer
- Start date
-
We will be taking the forums down for scheduled maintenance on Tuesday, May 22nd 2023 at around 8:00 CDT / 13:00 UTC for up to an hour hour.
-
We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.
There is a mod forum.
You will get there when you register the game
We havent' moved most of the modding threads here, since they are mainly dealing with the demo

That explains why mine is the only post in that forum. I was thinking that everyone was ignoring the Bug Report forum, the Mod forum, and the MP forum.
Oh...does that mean we can't participate in the mod forum if we don't have the game?Havard said:There is a mod forum.

I mean, I know my computer can't run EU3, but I had hoped that those of us who can't run the game could at least help with the mods in terms of historical research or ideas or something.
Or at least lurking, if nothing else.
But if we can't even see the mod forum without buying the game....
I guess they want you to buy the game even if you can't play it, so they bait you with exclusive privileges.

I never minded that EU3 wouldn't work on my computer---well, at least, I never blamed Paradox for going for higher graphics requirements---but...banned from lurking?
I am getting collectors edition anyway, but why do you need a game to go in the modding forums. for all other games you can just lurk.

No, it's part of a trend that began with Diplomacy. When that came out, we were even locked out of the AAR threads. Something which was changed after serious protests.
Which sounds like this is a settled policy, which isn't going to be changed. Which is unfortunate, because the way I am, if I don't get into EU3 at the beginning---even if I don't actually have the game---I probably won't buy it later.Brasidas said:
I'm not sure it's the best business decision, either. I actually went to the Diplomacy forum thinking, "Maybe I should buy this game...hey, there's nothing here but AAR reports! This forum obviously isn't as active as the EU2 forum, so the game must be a flop. I won't bother getting it...." Clearly, confusion is a possible result of banning unregistered users from forums.

my thoughts exactly... if you see other people having fun u want to participate. If you dont see it happen u turn away.

Which of course Diplomacy tanked... but that had nothing to do with it. No, nothing at all... :rofl:
I agree - the forums are a great way to convince people to buy the games - I never doubted that I would buy this game, but MrT's AAR made me buy the CE because I fell in love with it - and I bought HOI2 after having lurked their forum to see that it might be something for me...
I am convinced that the MOD-forum especially would make people interested in the game, could they acces it.
Since I will have the game I don't mind personally, but I think it is a bad decision.

This policy boggles the mind.
Both the Mod and the Multiplayer fora are excellent advertizement for the game and restricting them to people who already have the game is.. :wacko:
Who runs marketing, anyway?
it is really sad, i will not buy the game until i upgrade my pc which will be in some few months time, it is sad i will not be able to participate in mod forums here on paradox forums ...

So true, I thought (well still think) that Diplomacy sucked and flopped due to the lack of forum activity, and never bothered to buy it. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot

Someone at the marketing is living in the past.. An active grassroots community, exactly what AAR, multiplayer and mod forums would indicate, are great PR/marketing. Hiding that community makes absolutely no sense.
